39 Gravir, Isle of Lewis

Maureen was extremely helpful and welcoming. We only met on the phone but she was very happy to answer any queries or advise us. It was a sweet little bungalow with all you needed for a great trip. We loved the idea that it was at the end of the track with stunning views.

the property was very damp. After a short while the dehumidifier tank was full of water. Sheets on one bed had a stain. Carpet in one corner was stained and smelt of urine (possibly a dog) Wood lice kept appearing from under the carpets. No hot water in the bathroom wash bowl. Shower good

I liked a bath and live fire to relax by after a day out. I liked sunsets (if weather allowed to see them). I liked the rainbow during the sunset one night (21/6). I liked noises of animals (sleep, goats, ducks, geese, Stirlings, ...).

Rain, although without it fireplace wouldn't be so attractive. First drive to...quite a drive. But following days it was all right.

location was excellent, bit of a one track road but directions from owner were spot on, if you like your houses a bit off the beaten track then this is right up your street.no handle for grill

no handle for grill

Everything we needed. Lovely views.

No hot water from bathroom sink.

The cottage was comfortable with the open fire and a variety of heating options. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was fine. The location, although a bit further off the beaten track than was ideal, offered a variety of interesting encounters with local croft animals, goats, geese, hens,, ducks, sheep and the cuckoo etc. It was peaceful and private and reasonably well equipped.

The kitchen was dated and the crockery and cutlery was not clean. I had to wash everything before using. There was also empty and out of date items in the store cupboard. It would have been nice to have a stool or chair in the bathroom and perhaps a hook for hanging dressing gown and clothes. Although there was fuel provided, there was no firelighters and not enough fuel for a 3 night stay
